4th march 2007 watched ROCKY BALBOA

watched rocky balboa. not bad, was rather good actually. was rather cool. was thinking about psychological depth on the MRT, and hey, the film actually demonstrated that, that you have to GET UP everytime you get beaten down.

i was thinking about the common life that people live; girls wanting to look good to attract some guy, get a good job, get a house, start a family, and take care of everything you've built for the rest of your life. ditto for the guy, look good, get a girl, get a job, start a family, and take care of everything.

in going through all of these things, i guess, people hardly stop and ask themselves what is it they were working for. i guess people just do it for some vague thing called 'happiness', or just 'living for the sake of living'.

when they say happiness, they mean a different thing, not the happy-jump-for-joy-happiness, but a deeper happiness that brings peace and satisfaction. and as they go through the different things in their life, they build up psychological depth, resilience, or whatever you call it, the 'thing' that gives you the strength to keep getting back on your feet when you get beaten down by whatever circumstance.

i should know. christians call it God, hope, faith and love...
